    The bedrooms were connected to communal dining and kitchen but we seldom encountered another guest. However, there were rules associated with noise in stairwells and closing doors in particular (even though it was probably children from other apartments playing in hallways and making stairwell noise. Microwave was okay to use but not stovetop. There was a flimsy outdoor furniture table and chairs in kitchen which looked like the place to sit and not dining room. On first encounter with chair in kitchen, one of the slats broke under me. I brought this to attention of managers and the broken chair was replaced with a bit better outddoor chair but the other dangerous one was not. I could have gone right through. The feeling I had was that you are welcome but not too welcome. There were four keys needed from the front door into the apartment and an extra one for private bathroom. Good for security but several of these were modern secure ones that made noisy double clacking when opening or closing meaning that going to the bathroom at night meant that your partner was woken. I took it that there were complaining neighbours which made it a bit delicate when entering or exiting.

    Location was great with secondary passageways and alleys getting you places without the same crowds. As well as being not too far from transport train/bus hub. Ample dining close by and supermarket. Room was spacious. Private bathroom was well appointed although not ensuite. Jenny was very pleasant and helpful. Kitchen was there to be shared.

    My room was number one, the one with a red painted wall (the bathroom is more far away from the room, side the kitchen, but already know this, no problem at all, you have a bathrobe, and this bathroom is newer, big, very nice)... The only thing i didn't like, there was a smell of damp, in fact there was damp behind the heater next to the window, if you have respiratory problems, choose another room (the others don't have, Jenny say they try to fix, because there is a problem in the terrace, and Venice i know is very humid, but the smell bothered me a lot, and only in my last day i discovered where it comes from, and i stay there 4 nigths),that's because of this i don´t give 10...but everything is cleaning, the room is big, have air conditioning and two wall heaters, a very comfortable mattress and pillows. I don't like to pay extra 15 euros for the cleaning, never have to do that on booking reservations, i don't remember to see this writing nowhere.

    Jenny is greating, she let me makes the check in early, so was very nice, she gives you a lot of tips about Venice. Very easy to get there from the train station, like 12/15m walking (or more, because you gonna stop to take photos, ahaha). The kitchen have coffee and tea facilities, have fridge to put your things if you want (was nice for me because i eat fruit and yogurt for breakfast), you could not cooking, but have a microwave... The entrance to the building (the first one to the courtyard, then there is another one to the apartment, there is an elevator) doesn't look good, but Venice is full of buildings like that, it's part of its charm...don't be intimidated. Is a safe street and quiet but you can easily walk to everything.

I recommend the neighborhood, is quiet, safe, more local people, few tourists, nice places to eat in Campo Santa Margherita, dinner, breakfast, have a drink...In Dorsudoro at the end of the day people go take some aperol spritz and eat some cicchetti (go to Osteria Ai Pugni and Cantine del Vino già Schiavi-enoteca, outside is writen Vini al Bottegon, this ones have nice prices and they are very good).

    Getting to the property, the apartment and finally the room took some getting used to and a lot of different keys, but that was fine once we got the hang of it. We were not surprised by the separate bathroom, having read reviews here beforehand, but what we didn't really understand is their choice in assigning the bathrooms. All of the rooms have theirs right across the corridor, except ours - it was at the very end of it! It also meant we had to pass in front of the kitchen to use it... far from ideal. We also were lucky to only have one other couple staying at the same time as we did, as all the back and forth in the corridor (and the doors opening, especially) was extremely noisy.

    The host was friendly and very welcoming. Location was great, close to the train station and to the main path going from the station to Piazza San Marco from the south, but at the same time the building is accessed through a more quiet street. There were plenty of breakfast options nearby and Campo Santa Margherita was only five minutes away.

    Bedroom and bathroom are specious, clean, and charming. My neighbors are quiet and friendly. Location was 5 mins walk from main bus station. Best of all was the communication with host. I arrived late at night because I had to deal with my lost luggage at the airport. I didn’t have time to buy a local SIM card. I communicated with host via emails. She was worried about my travel from the airport and collecting the keys to the guesthouse after hours. She went out of her way to place the keys in secure location for me and provide additional instructions. Much appreciated.

    Nice place close to the bus station (but far from most attractions, it is a trade-off).The self-check in works well, the place was very clean at check-in (but you don't get cleaning during your stay). The walls are quite thin though, our neighbor complained that he heard our phone call in their room. The AC and the wifi work very well. All in all we recommend this place,

    We liked having the private bathroom. It was clean and there was so much space. However, we did have to walk down the hallway in order to get there from our room, which wasn't ideal. but overall had no issues

    We decided to stay somewhere close to the bus and train station because of how much you'll need to carry your luggage around, and it was definitely a good idea! The building is in good shape. The room is a great size and the bathroom was more than enough space for the two of us. We also really liked the orientation that Maximo had given us when we arrived- we could it super helpful!

    Too short of vacation

    The location is perfect close to the center but yet in a quiet neighborhood The Host was very flexible in the sense of self-check in the middle of the night and to allow us to leave our luggage in the guest house even though we checked out and they were generous enough to allow a shower even though our time was up:)
